  • First get the hinge side of the frame level and in the position you want it. Screw it into the wall using full threaded screws. If you don’t use full threaded screws, the screws will pull on the frame and make it not-level.

    Then put the door on the frame, and close it almost completely and adjust the side of the frame opposite of the hinges to make it fit the door. A good trick is to close the door until there’s only just a tiny sliver of a gap, then make the gap equal by adjusting the frame.

    Congratz, you just installed a door in about 10 minutes!

    This is how I’ve installed hundreds of doors as a carpenter.



  • To add to this. If a company builds with this new material and it turns out there’s some unexpected issue with the material, the company will be held liable for the damage. They can shove that liability back on the product manufacturer, but only so many can do that before the manufacturer just shuts down. Then the construction company has to foot the bill of a new building, which they can’t afford, and thus shut down.

    I absolutely hate how conservative the building industry is, but it’s a culture that’s been born out of harsh lessons and loss of livelyhoods.
